.- _ <br /> <br />III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during the <br />inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or <br />evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This partial inspection of the Arness McGriffen Mine was conducted by DMG staff from the <br />Durango Office, 701 Camino del Rio, Room 125, Durango, CO 81301, phone (970) 247- <br />5469. The permit for the Arness McGriffen Mine was revoked over 5 years ago. Financial <br />warranty was forfeited and utilized for final reclamation. No activities were observed, no <br />personnel encountered during the time of this inspection. <br />The mine access road remains open to provide access to state lands, located north of the <br />permit area. Public access to the site and adjacent state lands is controlled by locked cable <br />and gate closure. A sign at the gate indicates that public access will be restricted from mid <br />November through mid March, by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. <br />Soil conditions were wet due to recent precipitation and snow melt. Portions of the <br />reclaimed area have been adversely impacted by off-road traffic. Reclamation efforts may <br />benefit from the controlled access. <br />
